Quote from: zenrat on April 07, 2024, 04:50:05 AMOh they look pretty good mate.  I get Alclad Chrome right 1 time in 3 (truth be told its all in the gloss black undercoat).  This might be one of those times.

I want to hand paint the tyres then i'll post some pics.


This will be worth waiting for me be thinking matey 👍 👍 😀
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

OK.  Here is the front wheel.  While I was working on it it didn't seem as small as it looks in the hands of the Scale Reference Minifig.

Slow progress due to the need for finishing parts before they can be assembled into sub-assemblies that are required to be assembled before parts can be modified to enable assembly.  :unsure:  What?

But here is where I (and scale reference minifig) is at.

Mods so far include removing the front mudguard (moulded to wheel), bobbing the rear mudguard (moulded to wheel), and removing side car mounts from the frame so the chair can be mounted on the correct (left) side.  Side car chassis has also been modified so it will fit upside down on the left and new sidecar mounts added to that side of the frame.
Next job is to mock it up with the chair chassis in position and scratch up the connections between it and the bike frame.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Progress.

Frame/Tank halves are now glued around the engine/wheel.  Tank seam PSRed and the tank painted with a matt red undercoat.
